I've always been a bit of a "loner" but I've also always had at least 4 or 5 friends that I'd hang out with on a semi-regular basis. Being alone has never really been anything that's bothered me that much, like I said most of the things I enjoy doing are things you do by yourself. So, if my friends were busy or I didn't feel like hanging out with anyone I was still always able to keep myself entertained.

But over the last few years those 4 or 5 friends have all moved on with their lives, moved away, gotten married, no time for old friends. And that was fine, for a while. But over the last 6-8 months or so I've just really started missing having any sort of interaction with people. I see people at work, but there's not really anyone there that I get along with well enough or have anything in common with that I'd really want to spend any time outside of work with them.

It's just an odd feeling, being almost 30 and having no real friends to turn to. Never really thought that would be an issue. And now I just feel like it's too late to start over and make new friends because everyone my age has too much stuff going on in their own lives starting families or working on their careers. Plus I tend to not get along well with people my own age anyways because we never seem to have many similar interests. I get along better with my 7 year old son than I do with people my age because I'd rather play video games and read comic books than sit around discussing politics, religion or other things that I couldn't care less about.

I don't know, just in a weird place in my life and don't know what to do with myself anymore.
